The underlying Type 3 Helicopter Support Services IDC, valued at $80 million through December 31, 2032, enables rapid mobilization of helicopter assets during critical fire seasons and emergency response missions, allowing federal agencies to quickly issue task orders for essential aerial support across western states including California, Utah, Montana, and Missouri.
